Yengich, Rich & Xaiz, Attorneys at Law - We would like to introduce you to our suitemates, Ronald J. Yengich, Bradley Rich, and Earl Xaiz. If a conflict of interest or other reason prevents us from handling a case, we often refer matters to these highly capable attorneys. Mr. Yengich is a legend in legal circles throughout the west, and is an extraordinarily accomplished criminal defense attorney. It would not be a stretch to describe him as a renaissance man given the breadth of his knowledge of history, politics, and religion. His efforts for charity are well-known to his friends but not touted in the public.

Mr. Rich has practiced criminal defense at the highest level for over 35 years, and has reached the point in his career where he can be selective about the cases he takes.

Mr. Xaiz has practiced criminal defense for over 30 years, and is well-known to prosecutors and judges for his effective style and reasonable approach to the law. He commands the respect of his peers.

Yengich, Rich & Xaiz has been joined by associate attorney Chelsea Koch, a former federal public defender, who will continue on with the firm's good work.

The firm's staff consists of Myrleen Wright, Jake Barnes, and Dustin Hensley. Ms. Wright is the backbone of their office, always ready to help, quick to solve problems, and consistently patient. Mr. Barnes is a graduate of Westminster College, assisting with the day-to-day operations of Yengich, Rich & Xaiz while he determines his next move in life. Mr. Hensley is a former University of Utah football player who is helping out the office while starting his career in coaching.

Utah State Courts, Criminal Cases - The Utah State Courts website provides information on criminal penalties associated with various charges, bail schedules, court fines, and a wealth of other criminal resources.
